Dubai, January 10, 2019
H.E. Shamsa Saleh spoke to our class and other invited guests about the work she and the establishment have done to improve gender balance in and beyond Dubai. Students learned about the trajectory of Dubai Women Establishment’s statistics-recording, the difference between gender equality (defined as same treatment for men and women) and gender balance (defined as same opportunities for men and women), and notions of institutional constraint and agency are translated into policy action around women’s work.
